Benefits of technology

[0021]It is an object of the invention to provide an optical pickup apparatus that can reduce flare light generated by an objective lens and reduce stray light, and an information recording / reproduction apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

More specifically, when reproducing a high-density optical disk, reproduction is performed using the whole aperture of the objective lens, and when reproducing an optical disk with a base material having a thickness of 1.2 mm, aperture limitation is performed by moving the movable aperture-limiting plate into a light beam such that the light is focused optimally for reproducing the optical disk.
Thus, the production cost of the optical pickup apparatus is increased, and adjustment of the position of the filter 8 is complicated.
Furthermore, a light beam emitted from the semiconductor laser device is reflected by one surface of the filter 8 on the side of the erecting mirror 2 and enters a photodetector (not shown) as stray light other than signal light, and thus an error is caused in a detection signal for reading and recording information from / onto the optical recording medium.
Thus, an error is caused in a detection signal for reading and recording information from / onto the optical recording medium.

Embodiment Construction

[0062]Now referring to the drawings, preferred embodiments of the invention are described below.

[0063]Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments of the invention are described. In the following description, a component corresponding to an already described component may be denoted by the same reference number and the description thereof may not be repeated. In a case where only a portion of a component is described, the other portions of the component are the same as those that have been already described.

[0064]FIG. 1 is a view showing the configuration of an optical pickup apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the invention. The optical pickup apparatus 10 irradiates an optical disk recording medium (hereinafter, simply referred to as an “optical recording medium”) 18 such as a compact disk (abbreviated as a “CD”) and a digital versatile disk (abbreviated as a “DVD”) with a light beam, thereby performing at least either one of a process of reading information of the optical reco...

Abstract

An optical pickup apparatus and an information recording / reproduction apparatus that can reduce flare light generated by an objective lens and reduce stray light are provided. An erecting mirror is provided on an optical path between a light source and an objective lens. An incident face on the erecting mirror is provided with a wavelength selective film having a first region that reflects a light beam having a first wavelength emitted from a first semiconductor laser device and that transmits a light beam having a second wavelength emitted from a second semiconductor laser device, and a second region that reflects light beams emitted from the first and the second semiconductor laser devices.
